Evolution of the Call Center Fashion

During the dawn of the booming BPO (Business Processing and Outsourcing) industry aka call center industry during the late 90's, none, if not little is known about the exact fashion sense of the type then. One can only speculate what the pioneers of the industry sported. It was assumed that they usually adapted the usual yuppie-type, stiff, business to semi formal-ish apparel. Given that the industry's usual service window revolve around US business hours which is about 10pm Manila time and extends up until the wee hours in the morning, the group did not see the relevance of donning the rigid attire. This was later justified when some wise cracks raised the fact that their customers doesn't even get to see them.

I haven't been around in the industry that long to actually give you an in depth narrative on the evolution of the call center fashion but I can tell you one thing though, you can definitely tell whether the person you run into works for the industry with the stuff he/she wears.
